Cape Cod Song

Now that the time is coming to leave I have the bittersweet feeling - of looking forward to something new, but feeling that Cape Cod has been sort of home. So on this day a song I learnt from Uma, Tara's daughter. It's an old New England folk song..

Cape Cod Girls they have no combsThey comb their hair with fish cod bonesHeave away, Heave awayHeave away my bully bully boysHaeave away and don't you make a noiseWe're bound for Australia

Cape Cod boys they have no sledsThey ride on codfish headsHeave away, Heave awayHeave away my bully bully boysHaeave away and don't you make a noiseWe're bound for Australia

Cape Cod cats they have no tailsThey blew away in the Nor'east galesHeave away, Heave awayHeave away my bully bully boysHaeave away and don't you make a noiseWe're bound for Australia
